I do apologize for her...

[missthewoman]

I think you're not so bad after all.

[A moment of her appraising smile~]
What would you say if I confessed that I fancy you more than John?

apologize for nothing

[whatsolarsystem]

[What would he say? This is what he'd say:]

...What?

<3

[missthewoman]

[That was amusing, if a bit succinct.]

Shall I repeat myself, dear?

[whatsolarsystem]

Not at all, I heard you just fine. Now I'm only left to wonder why you would say such a thing. Though you are very good at lying.

[missthewoman]

Thank you, sir. I take that as a compliment.

I said it because I felt compelled to confess something, however my mind rebelled at saying anything completely straight-forward.

[whatsolarsystem]

Of course you do.

So instead it decided that lying would be easier? [WAS THAT A LIE? HE'S FISHING, HERE.] I believe that takes away from the 'confessions' part of the entire thing.

[missthewoman]

[Part of it might depend on what he thinks she meant by 'fancy'? She smiles indulgently]

No, that was not all a lie.

[whatsolarsystem]

[SUSPICIOUS SQUINT, YOU GET ONE. He will ask, then. No assumptions on his part.]

Clarify.

[missthewoman]

Clarify? [She laughes lightly]
I rather think that is your job, Mister Sherlock Holmes.

[whatsolarsystem]

Hm. [A frown, but no argument to that.]

When you say fancy, you mean in a... romantic sense? Or do you mean that you prefer my company, of which, I can only think the reason behind either answer means that you enjoy sociopathic personalities.

I'm leaning towards the latter, mind.

[missthewoman]

[She is getting more amusement out of these two sentences to you than the one she gave to John, that much is certain.
She considers his analysis for a moment, then nods thoughtfully. Although he is picking apart the statement she'd given as false, he is managing to tease out a thread of truth.]

Interesting. I suppose sociopathic personalities do hold an allure for me. And I believe we have established already where you stand on romance? [Her lips quirk into a thin smile at the thought.] I'm not one to waste my energies so uselessly.

[whatsolarsystem]

[Irene, u such a troll]

[Though it wasn't a straight-up confirmation, Sherlock takes pleasure in knowing that he was right about his assumption. He looks pleased with himself if you look hard enough.]

Of course not. You're far too clever for that.

[missthewoman]

[[*insert troll 'Rawr~' here.]]

[Not quite 'cat who got the cream' pleased, but perhaps~ she can see a hint of it. And of course, she is looking pretty pleased herself.]

So complementary, good sir! Although I also take that to mean that any further energy I do happen to expend on giving you any kindness would be completely and irrevocably wasted? [Oh, say it is not so~?]
